Be afraid. Be very afraid.
Witches and wizards, monsters and maniacs and ghosts and ghouls will be out in considerable force and the expectation is that the terror will commence long before darkness falls.
The zombie brigade have come out of the darkness and are making their way slowly towards Killarney for the annual scarefest at the Killarney Outlet Centre and the eerie silence that currently prevails is about to be shattered.
Sunday, October 27 is the day set aside for the terrifying occasion when Sunday shoppers will go ducking for cover as the wacky weirdos take over the town.
The highlight of the Halloween party of the year will be the zany fancy dress parade in the Outlet Centre which will get underway at 4.00pm.
There are some sensational prizes up for grabs including a Christmas in Killarney visit to Santa and lunch in O’Brien’s Irish Sandwich Café for the best dressed family and Kerry GAA gift boxes – including must-have 2024 jerseys – for the best dressed boy and girl.
There will be goody bags for all children participating in the fancy dress parade – for which a €1 entry fee will apply – but long before the parade commences, there will be so much fun to be enjoyed.
There will be Halloween face painting, balloon modelling, a candle making workshop and incredible magic shows with Tony Wonder from 2.00pm to 3.00pm and again from 4.30pm to 5.00pm.
Everything one could possibly imagine to make it a Halloween party to remember will be there on the day – so make sure you are.
